  I am finding the trajectory of my approach shots to these hole seem lower than usual and the distance is off quite a bit.

  Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me ???

  Any positive thoughts, help or suggestions appreciated !!!

  Just took a look at my notes. Next to #11 I have +10. Nothing for #7.

  When I add 10 it's long, when I don't add 10 it's short lmao!  go figure

  is that you just don't have any notes or add nothing?

  I think because the elevation on 7 is so severe and starts from your feet (as opposed to all at the end)  it gives the illusion of a flatter trajectory, like the ground is rising with the shot.

  The first thing I thought was add 6 and more TS, but I've only been there once.

  Eagle at #7 Chambers

  I played the distance plus elevation minus wind with some backspin and intended to land way left like I did so it would feed to the hole ... as good fortune had it, it dropped ...

  Sorry for delay. Hectic the way real life intervenes. :^)

  Sort of both. When playing, I didn't see anything unexpected. I figure elevation differently from most, though. When it's that severe, I always take a little off. As the ball is approaching without topping the parabola, I always allow for more rollout. 

  Hope that makes sense.
